Korea and their bad MMORPGs

Korea is INSANELY obsessed with online games. You should see the number of deaths there that are somewhat linked to somebody playing an online game.

They're linked to people being retarded and/or stupid, not games. :(

I know, I was explaining why there's an astronomic amount of Korean MMORPGs.

then slowly configuring the engrish to normal (like Maple Global has slowly overcome) takes time.

the only thing I hate is really, the clones of other MMORPGs, and that you ussually get poor support for certain MMOs.

I would really like to know what else there is to do in RO, 'cause in my occasionaly spurts in it, it was just a grindfest. I couldn't even find any quests. It was just run out, thwap monsters, sell loot, buy equipment, thwap bigger monsters, repeat.

---

they have an episode system of quests, you can find these story quests in various places (for example, the latest episode quest is in Lighthalzen) (I cant give away any of the little ittles of storyline).
and a few little sub quests like hat making (ya know, your typical collect so many from this and etc... 10,000 jellopy makes an Orc Hero Hat, but I dont have the toleration to do that).

edit: xD I hate the communitys in most MMOs, but there are a few worth getting to know and conversing with (Like Kierston and Adam, we use to maple together *-*).


perhaps its just a poor form of plotless gaming, but I like them n_n-b

---

Yeah, and all those quest concepts suck. They involve trekking around and killing, being lucky enough to get some item from the monster, etc.

---

perhaps the sub.... but not the Episodes.

edit: wait a sec, I thought you never found these quests mr Genji.

I have yet to play an AWSOME mmo outside of Asheron's call. They all suck, with DAOC and WoW being two great exceptions to that rule. Those are about sevens and eights on my 1 - 10 scale. AC was 9.

I have never played any extraordinary MMO's. RuneScape has a community which at best can be described as pathetic, even though that game was made by a British company.

In his defense, it's not like the "Kill [x] enemies" or "Bring me [x] items" quest concepts are exactly unique to RO. They really do get pretty old, too.

Tsukasa: Well, you basically told me what the quests were like.

Hsu: I agree completely.

I also like exploring in MMO games, which is why I hate really small worlds like Knight Online (lacking detail aswell which is no fun at all ._.).

as for RO... I am going to keep defending the good points of it like I do the same with FFX-2.

That's fine. You can have your opinion and I can have mine of course. :) We're different people, and we have different tastes.

As of now, my new MMORPGs are Endless Online and Dark Ages. THOSE are my type of games. :)

I will just second that Gunz is a fairly entertaining online game.... Fairyland held my attention and is fairly fun(lots of grind though). Trickster online has a bunch of quests but nothing exciting about them. In the end I think that The Fourth Coming is still the best MMORPG around, and it is ancient.

I am not sure if TO and FL are korean made but they tend to fit the mold that you guys are talking about fairly well. The Fourth Coming I know isn't korean but meh I needed a point of comparison.

You may really like the look of Diablo I/II/Expansion


:)

Yeah, I'm trying to get a hold of a copy of Diablo II. I think my friend might have it, so I can copy the CD from her. If she doesn't, well that means...

*opens bitcomet*

Guild Wars is made by the Diablo team, it's a good game. Awsome PvP.

Man, I've real a lot of articles over the years on their obesessions with MMO's. Even offline grieving for things done while online. I tried googling for a site devoted to this subject but all I can find are news articles like i mentioned above. Didn't one guy kill another for a sword stolen online or something like that?
